1962 Classic once owned by James Jamerson
Everyone knows that the B15 is a fab amp. The studio bass amp of choice for pro players and producers. Theres a certain balance they have that sits in a track. Not always the best amp for every bass but great with most esp P basses. Mine belonged to the king of em all James Jamerson.

Great Japanese Thunderbird
Mine is actually an Epiphone brand made at Fujigen in Japan and its a really great T-Bird. I think better than the US made ones of the 80s and 90s. They were also sold under Orville and Greco. I had some vintage T bird pickups that I installed which I think are 1960s so it has balls. Love it!

Total Sexy Beast!
I have this one with the graphic eq and its the most versatile bass I own. The T40 comes in 2nd for variety of sounds. I dont own a Line 6 but thats digital modeling so doesnt count. I love the kitsch body shape. Also the bridge pickup is great and very usable as I dont like bridge pickups in general on solid bodies. Used it with Glen Matlock and on many tracks. Does dub to nasty and Ive had Entwistle esque sounds. The eq knobs are paired to boost and cut 2 frequencies simultaneously to keep volume stable but if you take of the knobs you have a 6 band eq but the volume can vary immensely. LOVE IT!!

My longest owned bass and most sentimental
I bought this in London at Music & Video Exchange. I was in a TV show house band (Jonathan Ross with Steve and Pete from Attractions and Kevin from Iggy Pop) and we had Roy Orbison as a guest so I thought Id buy my 1st P bass in his honour. I used everything but P and J basses cause i wanted to be different. Now I swear by them but still use many other kinds. Roy didnt come to rehearsal so Kevin went out to find someone to sing... He brought back a substitute... Robert Fucking Plant who was a big, Big O fan.

Badass Old Road Dog
Its a 50 yr old Fender that was chopped. I got it in DC on tour and its my favorite P bass. Just got it running (dead pickup) and am using it more than any other bass. Some USA small brand nylon coated strings that I prefer to roto trubass.
